Open Call PHC-27-2015 Self-management of Health and Disease and Patient Empowerment Supported by ICT
Empowering citizens and patients to manage their own health and disease can result in more cost-effective healthcare systems by enabling the management of chronic diseases outside institutions, improving health outcomes, and by encouraging healthy citizens to remain so.

2014 Call for Proposals of the AAL Programme
